Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that is associated with several developmental and behavioral phenotypes, including reduced and fragmented sleep at night. Here, we describe the role of NF1 in sleep in zebrafish, a diurnal vertebrate whose mechanisms of sleep control are broadly conserved with those of mammals. The zebrafish genome encodes two neurofibromin 1 (nf1) paralogs:...
